Matchstick: Bulimia

[wasupimalyse]

@jdawg4294 hey I'm not gonna 'bash' on you but what you said is really stupid considering you haven't been through it and you don't know what it's like so don't make a judgment until you have experienced an ED. okay? Thanks

[jdawg4294]

I know I'm going to get bashed for saying this, but fuck these people.

What a pussy disease. "I don't want to eat, because I'm afraid of what people think of me". FUCK YOU! There are MILLIONS of people everyday that struggle to find a food source of any kind. People are so fucking weak.

[carmensita2332]

@jdawg4294 LoL you are just ignorant thats all :) You really think that an eating disorder is just about food? And that they want to kill them self slowly this way? Do you look down on people with all mental illnesses and phobias etc or is it just eating disorders?

[bevon17]

Bulimia is a lot to me.

500 characters in a youtube comment box couldn't even scratch the surface if I attempted to explain myself.

[mentalhealthhelpUK]

A powerful video, love it.

[MagnuSSungaM]

This video makes me sick. OOOH SNAP!

[BeccaJade90]

i have had eating dissorders since the age of 10, and i would starve myself for days, untill id have an episode of bulimia, its very difficult to tackle! the thoughts never leave, and i will never escape the thoughts! pepol lookin in on eating dissorders, dont reolise how difficult it is living with it!, emotionally stressful, tiering, and uppsetting. an everyday battle! xx

[gemmamonia]

U know what the scary thing is? I found a link to this video on a pro-ana blog. Pro-anas think this video is actually incouraging...

[nowaytoolong]

this is so true... it all starts in your head my entire body is changing as a result of the junk i'm eating. I'm so afraid for my future when i watch all these videos... i made one too to share.

[surfergirl33]

are u bulima?? if u are i am to :( i dont kno wat to do noone will listen adn they yell at me PLEASE HELP ME

[nowaytoolong]

this is so true... it all starts in your head my entire body is changing as a result of the junk i'm eating.

[Purginator]

Yes but 7/8ths of Mudkips are male.

[karanafan101]

iv been a bulimic for 2 weeks and i love it i feel great and i dont care wut any one says

[Tvalo]

you're not a bulimic. A bulimic is someone who has carried out that behaviour for a lot longer than two weeks. I doubt you know what you're talking about, if after two weeks of doing that you say " I've been a bulimic for 2 weeks", so ready to categorize yourself. You don't care what anyone says? People don't critisize it, the fact is, it does kill people.

[Tvalo]

this is in response to Karanafan101

[rockfan500]

i agree wit u Tvalo bcoz i started off anorexic and then bcame bulimic and ive had it for quite a while and the doctor has now sed soon if i dont get rid of it, my aphosagus is gonna tear and bleed and kill me. Been bulimic for two weeks is nothin becoz that can all b reversed and if u feel gr8 u cannot b truely bulimic coz u wuld feel terrible and if anythin was sed to u, u would take it like a knife been struck into ur heart. Also we r not like this coz of weight.

[Rav3rFreya]

Ive been purging for a year on various occasions, but it´d never last for more than 2 weeks (the bulimic/vomiting phases) but now the purging is worse than ever and ive been purging numerous times a day (or night) for over month. I cant stand the feeling of keeping food in my stomach, and not vomiting it up. At first it was easy to stop, but now it feels really hard, like purging is an obsession. Do you think im bulimic?

[rockfan500]

yes it sounds like u r and the worryin thing is if u do it a couple of times a day, ur more likely to catch onto some bad health problems sooner then u think, try and seek help b4 too late

[Rav3rFreya]

kk thanx ^^

[rockfan500]

it oki, i wuld no bcoz i started off anorexic, but soon i bcame bulimic and that was seven months ago. Since then i have eaten even if it small amount, i throw up. I must do this five times a day and im so used to it, that i cannot stop. Wish u luck x

[rockfan500]

yes it sounds like u r and the worryin thing is if u do it a couple of times a day, ur more likely to catch onto some bad health problems sooner then u think, try and seek help b4 too late

[singing1sensation]

yeah u might be. if u keep purging. get help. u will feel much better about urself

[Li559]

this is exactly how i started- i mean exactly; thats the first time i heard f anyone else with the whole 2 weeks thng beside me

unfortunatley im fully bulimic- with the health complications- and it looks like you could be going the same way

like everyone ekse said-sek help before its too late

[singing1sensation]

im not bulimic. i just heard about this vid

[islandvixenkitten]

i once was a over eater but now i think that im bulimic. i don't want to keep doing this. how do i get help?

[surfergirl33]

i am a bulimic to ive been for 6 months i do not wanna die how do u get help

[foxer499]

u know, the fact that ur asking for help is amazing. u need to tell someone hun. talk to a relative, a friend, a doctor, anyone! find one person that u know will be there for you, and hash out what u can do together. that's my best advice. as much as we'd like to deny it: no one can help themselves alone.

[mexicanmayhem07]

what are the stats on bulimia? I purged just this morning, does that make me a bulimic? I don't think so.

[rockfan500]

bulimia and anorexia are both diseases that will not go away over nite, i agree with chickaflicka2 and its not exactly a nice thing bcoz u cant call out to anyone and wen u do people just think ure been stupid and dont understand. Its relli hard to pull out of and u dont relli know wot bulimia or anorexia is like until u have it and u dont want it, believe me

[LISAFLITTON]

Try not to judge anothers perception on bulimia.

We all are educated regarding the subject differently, either through personal experience, media or perhaps an aquaintence. We all see things differently, each supported by varying conflicting emotions.

[FuckMeLikeYouHateMe]

ive been overweight, healthly weight, underweight, anorexic, chewer-spitter, binger, binger-purger, over-excersizer, low-fat, low-carb, starve, yo-yo dieter, you name it ive done it!! lowest weight 90 , highest weight 130

not to mention, sleep disorder, depression, social anxiety, 7th grade drop out, math dyslexia, very ugly teeth, puffy face, stretch marks, low self esteem, casual sex

im 18, white girl, 5ft, 95lb.

THANK YOU

[LoSt0Delirious]

The ones who say they are bulimic, are talking about it like a complete normal thing. You can actually die!! Realize!!

[zakievarumiyya]

We do realize that bulimia kills we r not stupid...

[chickaflicka2]

We do realise, but until you actually have it, you do not understand how much of alifestyle it becomes and how much everyday we wish we were normal again but it wont cant heppen very easily because it's a mental illness, not something that can be broken overnight so YOU realise!!

[chickaflicka2]

Bulimia is a disease...

[OMGILC]

what the hell? Bulimia isn't actually i disease, its not the same for anyone, everyone is different to it. Fuck that,

[lukxe]

fucking STUPID. starts in your head? yes, it fucking does. so are you telling people to stop it from starting in their fucking heads? i knew well about bulimia before i was. and i know very well almost nothing could stop me, not even my FRIEND dying from the damn disorder. bulimics, TRUE bulimics, who hide it and are ashamed and living a disgusting lie, do NOT want to see bullshit like this making them feel worse. fuck everyone who is NOT bulimic and does not know what the hell it is like.

[mangaman1337]

uhh...that includes you? lol...

[chickaflicka2]

With all due respect, some people who are bulimic choose to share it if they decide they need someone to talk to. So your description of 'TRUE bulimics' isn't entirely correct. I am not just making this up, I am bulimic but talk to two close people to me about it, and it helps, I don't bottle it up but I do understand some people deal with it by doing so, and that is also not wrong xx

[kelleyleeg]

are you retarded?? people deal with it in different ways, just because you dont tell anybody does not make you a true bulimic. i see a therapist about it, that doesnt make me a poser or whatever. i KNOW what it's like. my god, you arent the only person here with a issue... you obviously dont seem too ashamed anyways.

[zakievarumiyya]

Ur so right and I know that coz Im bulimic too

[KungFu17]

I like this. The problem with terms like body image satisfaction though is that when over half of Americans or whatever crazy percentage are now obese we should be working to get thinner not be satisfied with being so unhealthy...it's more complex.

[jx8x]

i can have a matter of seconds when i actually like the way that i look, the rest of the time i know that i am fat even though i am nearly underweight. 8 stone 3 pounds and 5 foot 5inches. It hards to keep in control of my eating when we have these underlying messages by the media that obsess about the size of models and stars when most in my opinion don't look too bad, apart from maybe Mary - Kate and Ashley.

[Tigress83]

That a very interesting way to portray a serious message... clever

[andrew567567]

i want to lose 10 more pounds and then i ll be done

[innocuous842]

That's what we all say. I wish I could be done with it. It's so hard to stop. Try reading Life Without Ed.

[SnowyAstra]

I still can't understand what frame of mind someone with bulimia or anorexia are in. Surely common sense should tell them that they look bloody aweful, and that their bones are sticking out of their skin....yet they STILL want to be thinner? I'm not being insensitive, but come on, there has to be some sort of underlying mental health dissorder to think they are still fat....Very sad to know people like that have such a weak mind and no willpower.

[ohshttson]

Anorexia & bulimia ARE the underlying mental health disorders. The bingeing & purging & restricting are just symptoms of anorexia. It's the disorder that is making the person not have "common sense" and not be able to see how thin or unhealthy they actually are, the disease doesn't allow it. Also keep in mind that there are different types of eating disorders and not all people with eating disorders are skinny. Bulimics tend to be of average weight, and there is also Compulsive Over Eating.

[ohshttson]

*oops i meant to say that the bingeing, purging, & restricting are just symptoms of eating disorders. (not just anorexia).

[HotSpacePink]

Don't you think it takes more willpower to hold back or throw up than it does to just eat and eat and eat? Maybe you should just not say anything unless you've been in their shoes.

[alyssamichelle09]

its not that we cant see it its just that we see it differently to us we look great but it is very controlling and sometimes you want to stop but your body has gotten so used to purging sometimes it automatically does it for you. but we dont have weak minds and we definitly have willpower, thats what gets me through days of not eating...

[intilli4]

Cool Video. Keep them coming.

[torisgirl]

beautiful

[muderousegg]

You know how many chemicals their are in foods to keep them cheaper and longer lasting their are that are bad for you? they even put yellow die to make it look like its got more egg 0.0

[whirly540]

buenisimo, tendria que verse mas seguido en la tv en vez de esos programas de mierda q no sirven ni educan para nada.

[jpcarulei]

Anybody with an eating disorder should die, fat or thin. Its Darwinian evolution at work.

[prep4everandever]

they should die? i had bulimia thank God i recoverd and u say they should die cuase they have a desise wow u are the most rudess person i ever heard of u should be ashamed of yourself saying they should die u need help

[HotSpacePink]

This person never said they should die. They just said it spreads to the rest of your body, and with a wonderful symbol of a match. Don't blow things up to be what you want them to be just because you think you can.

[alyssamichelle09]

the person wasnt talking about the video, they were replying to the person above them that said "anybody with an eating disorder should die"...just thought i would let you know

[mea060680]

I understand what you are saying but it could be put in a little more compassionate way dont you think?

[prep4everandever]

compassionate what do u mean

[surfergirl33]

i cant belive u i am bulima and iam trying 2 get help how dare u say such a thing u should be the one dieing not us should be u at lest we have the cuourge to keep moving on in life:)

[AeroEbook]

Grandma & Grandpa didn't have any Mountain Dew or Krispy Kremes, the society we are now in has brought these problems to your doorstep. And NOBODY feels WORTH when they are obese.

[AeroEbook]

If America would just wake up to the fact that the corporations are slowly killing us and ruining our lives... and maybe EAT the way your grandparents did, there would be NO weight problems. Every exit on every highway is flooded with fast-trash eats, mostly consisting of BREADED filth. The only way to detox from these things is block them out for awhile. I myself am currently on the way to the desert, passing thru the corporate cesspool of junk along the way.

[tophdank]

Nice

[Silvershieldz]

Effective!

[TheBigBentley]

very nice. well done!

[6wambam911]

Very well made :)

[dakiro222]

truly powerfull and elegant

[derossitte]

Thank you for sharing your inner vision of this -- and of any -- addiction. The metaphor of the burning match is a powerful reflection of the burning destruction of this psychic.

The spot is an elegant visual showing the source of an addiction, and in doing so reminds us all (for who doesn't have some sort of addiction??) that we must take special care of what happens in our minds.

[Sassenech]

That was very powerful! Well done

[Chaluzska]

Scarry

[EmoBoysRTheSex]

very good

[recherche]

wow

[xiratxex]

this was really good

[brighteyez404]

That was a very good and realistic depiction of what an eating disorder can do to you.
